A food, drink and music festival is taking over a Leeds carpark this summer, bringing rooftop parties feat. the city’s most exciting DJs and food vendors to the Merrion Centre.
Called Multistories, it’s pulling in chefs like Matt Healey (former Masterchef) and The Savvy Baker to serve up tasty treats, accompanied by eclectic beat selections from some of Leeds’ finest local DJs.
From eight storeys up, guests will get the chance to sample Matt Healy’s all-new ‘Tapas Xperience’and tuck into Savannah Roqaa’s sweet lockdown bakes whilst soaking up some sunshine and enjoying expansive views across the city.
More food vendors are due to be announced in the coming weeks.
Kicking off on 25th June, the space will have room for up to 350 guests at one time. The event takes a leaf out of Manchester and London’s books, taking empty industrial or commercial spaces and repurposing them for creative events.
”Hospitality has taken some blows over the past 12 months, to say the least, and so Multistories was born to kickstart the industry in Leeds, encourage greener social space and celebrate some of the amazingly talented independents in the city,” said Arron Fishwick, co-founder of Xperience Partners.
‘’Socialising in a car park may raise the odd eyebrow up north, but it’s a tried and tested concept in London that’s been growing exponentially for the best part of a decade. Level 8 will not only allow for some unrivalled views of the city, but some of the absolute best food and drink you’ll find in the UK.’’
‘’We’re honoured to be working with the likes of Matt Healy, the Savvy Baker, and can’t wait to reveal more big names as they are confirmed. With everyone fed up with lockdown, we’re hoping 2021 is going to be the much-needed summer of love we’ve all been craving. We can’t wait to see the people of Leeds join us to make some lifelong memories.”
Multistories will operate from 4-10pm on Fridays, and between 12-10pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Guests can book tables for Multistories online to drink and dine in parties of up to six.
Tickets go on sale at 9am Friday 11th June and can be purchased via the website.
Find it at Level 8 CitiPark in the Merrion Centre.
